Firefighters helped put out a "small" fire that broke out in an engine of a JetBlue plane earlier today at Baltimore/Washington International Airport.

WJLA TV of Washington reports that the "small engine fire" occurred just after JetBlue Flight 1329 landed at BWI after arriving from Boston between 11:15 and 11:30 a.m. ET. The Associated Press adds the engine on the Embraer E190 jet "apparently caught fire as the plane was taxiing to the gate."

Firefighters were able to put out the fire on the aircraft after it taxied to a gate. Photos from Washington's WUSA Channel 9 showed fire trucks surrounding the jet, with what appeared to be flame retardant on the ground near the plane.
